_{HOW DO YOU FIGURE A LAST YEAR ON EARTH?}
- - - - - - - - - - figure in love !

» Ahh, the first weekend. With the first week of junior year behind her, Jaeda was ready for a weekend. It wasn't necessarily a hard week, but it just seemed to Jaeda like it would never end. The teachers droning on about class policies, and individual syllabi, and getting to know the kids in her classes- and where said classes were- was tiring. Luckily enough, none of Jaeda's teachers had assigned anything yet. In a way, she felt like it was going to be too easy a year, as opposed to friends of hers who had AP classes that already had a shit ton of homework. She felt bad, and kind of like a bum, but whatever. It was another year- and better yet, another year in public school- and for that, she was obligated to be grateful. Her mother had done a great job teaching her at home, but Jaeda was a social girl, and yearned for interaction with multiple people each day. Just seeing her mother, father and siblings every day was getting old. Luckily, she'd been in public school since Freshman year, which was when they moved to Miami.

» Making the week harder was that Jaeda wasn't feeling the best. She was really tired at school, and generally achy. But, she figured the achiness was because she was moving around all day, as opposed to all summer, where she just did nothing all day, and the tiredness was probably from having to get up so early. She was sure it would clear up soon. But making the week easier was that Gabe finally asked her out. It was only a couple days before school started that he did, and of course she accepted. They'd been really close for so long, and she was shocked that he hadn't done it sooner- aside from that short period of dating Mitch during Freshman year, she had been completely available the entire time. But the past didn't matter any more. They were together now, and Jaeda was infinitely happy about it. He was a great guy, and knew how to make her laugh. She trusted him enough to tell him about her sickly childhood, whereas nobody outside her family but him knew, which was saying a lot. She knew she could tell him anything, trust him with anything, and that he could do the same with her. She was definitely glad to know him, and even more glad to be his girlfriend.

» They were supposed to meet in the park after school today. It was Friday, so she figured a great way to celebrate the first Friday of the year was to spend some time together. As she walked out the front door of the school, Jaeda called home quickly to let her mother know what was going on, then got into her Jeep Cherokee and turned on the engine. It was chaos, like any day, both in the parking lot and on the front steps of the school, which was why Jaeda decided it was a bad idea to meet Gabe there. She texted him to tell him this, and that she'd just meet him at the park. It wasn't long before she managed to get out of the parking lot- through sheer luck, for sure- and she was soon pulling into another spot in the parking lot at the park. Since the high school was the first one in the area to let out, and the middle and elementary schools (and most daycares) were still in session, the park was deserted, which was fine with Jaeda. She got out of the Jeep, pushed the Lock button on her keychain until it chirped, and then walked away. She headed toward the playground, since that's where they agreed to meet. Hey, you're never too old to play on a playground. As Jaeda would say, "I'm not childish, I'm youthful." But as she stepped onto the shredded tires that made up the bottom of the playground, she suddenly felt... well, odd. She was getting dizzy, stumbled a little, and grabbed the pole (the one little kids slide down off a platform beside the slide) to hold herself up. She twisted and slid down, so she was sitting on the shredded tires with her back against the pole. At least like this, she decided, she could make it seem like she was just sitting there waiting for Gabe to show up, instead of sitting there waiting out a dizzy spell.

Gabe stretched out happily on his way to the park. Thankfully, the trip was in walking distance from the school. He had been working on a paper for psychology until right before he looked at his phone. New text message from Jaeda. His mind immediately went into happy-mode (not as if this was abnormal for him) just by seeing her name on the screen of his phone. This whole "dating" thing was still extremely new to him, and every move he made made him worry that he was being too clingy or not paying enough attention to her. He was glad that she was still talking to him, at least. That obviously meant that he didn't mess up yet, right? Suddenly, he thought of something else that might be frightening -- he didn't even open the message yet -- what if she was breaking up with him or something? Damn, it's only been a -- goddamn, he needed to get a hold of himself before he jumped to so many different conclusions like that. Here's a thought -- open the fucking text.

So, he did. "Meet me at the park." Okay, simple enough. He had saved everything he had gotten through (which, in all honesty, wasn't much because of his procrastination streak) before turning off the computer and heading out. And, there he was, walking along, about five meters away from the park when he was able to spot her.
